The Met "GOLI" list gives 1941 as first issue of GGW, where the GW defines London CC, the sequence using GGW with year letter prefix A (1963) was allocated but never issued as were all year letter prefixes from GGW to YGW inclusive. HGW + 3 figs, the next in sequence, was first issued 1945.
Its difficult to see accurately, but the vehicle third from the left I think is GLB 65 but could just be GL 865 owing to pixellation. GL + 3 figs is possible but unlikely being Bath CBC, but issued 1932 - 1947. More likely fits the London idea being a 1941 first issue again with HLB appearing in 1946.
